Hi there,
Is there the possibility to implement auto-replacement of character strings like, for example,
==> : ā
--> : ā
etc.?
This would make the appearance much nicer 
Thanks in advance for a short reply.

Agreed!
Along with this one 
This is not really part of this project. How about you use Fira Code as font.
That solves your issue right away.

Ah, that's a nice font. Didn't know this one. Thanks for the hint. However, even though I can set this as a font of the Markdown editor in JoplinApp, I cannot set it for the "rendered" view. Is there a way (which I maybe just don't know)?
I think what you need is the typographer option, in the Markdown options.

Hi Laurent,
Thanks for your reply. I set the option in the 'Markdown' section of the preferences as you suggested. And I also set the font family in the Editor to Fira Code. Still, I only see the 'auto-completion' of the font in the 'code editor', not in the rendered view.
Am I missing something?
Actually I was mistaken, the typographer doesn't replace arrows in the rendered view, and currently there's nothing to replace the characters as you type. So probably the font would be the only option if it works, but I'm not familiar with that.
Just set the font in userstyle.css and you are good to go....
body {
font-family: "Fira Code";
}
The question is, whether you really want a monospace font for the entire preview. That's a matter of opinion.
Or if you only want the code sections to use it:
code {
font-family: "Fira Code";
}

I know this is an old topic, but I was wondering if this could be a Feature for a Plugin, maybe?
Because I stumbled over this question, too.
And for me it is not possible to change the font, I already designet everything and a new font would be a bummer for me 
To me text expanders (espanso for example) work like a charm for such a use case.
Have you tried any text expanders?
What are your thoughts about it as a means to achieve the desired result?
